Garbage - Meade Microscope 900x w/ 19-piece Accessory Kit For Children And School Students 04337

I got this microscope for $7 shipped, and I still regret buying it. It's complete garbage. The focus knob sticks so it's hard to turn. The lenses must be made out of plastic with visible deformities. When you look at an object through the microscope, it's hard to differentiate between the crud on the lens and the thing you're looking at. The whole thing weighs 8 ounces, and it's 99% plastic. I bought this as a gift for my six-year-old daughter, and I'm afraid that this microscope is so bad that it will actually turn her off science. I think I'll keep the accessories (which are nice), and donate the scope to Good Will.
Pros: Comes with lots of accessories for beginners
Cons: Poor construction, lenses are dirty
